These past two days of research into my husbands discharge from the Marines has left me baffled and ready to proceed with the Disability Review Board request once we receive his rating from the VA. To recap:
I have also attached a picture of the bottom of his DD214.
SEPARATION: CONDITON NOT A DISABILITY
SEPARATION CODE: JFV1
REENTRY CODE: RE-3P
Now I sit even more ignited! After researching I see that JFV1 is - (Discharge because of a physical condition which is not disabling. involuntary, USMC ) while RE-3P means
(Physical disability (includes discharge and transfer to TDRL). Obesity. Motion sickness. Disqualified for officer candidate training.)
There is another code
RE-3G- Condition (not physical disability) interfering with performance of duty.
So....if the "CONDITON IS NOT A DISABILITY" why does the reentry code contradict that?? Now....I'm ready for the fight! Any advice appreciated!!!!
Army Vet after he got out he went into the Marines. WHILE in the Marines he was discharged 2 months in (ELS-Uncharacterized Discharge). Also noted on his DD-214 it states "CONDITON NOT A DISABILITY" which confuses me. He never had these issues! What further confuses me is his discharge physical & medical records from the Marine sick call visits
(1) "With proper evaluation SNR was sent to MRP where he was diagnosed with bilateral pes planus, bilateral plantar fasciitis, and bilateral calcasear. Medical further states that SNR's condition is unlikely to change"
(2) Reason Processed: MEDICAL
(3) the factual basis/bases for this recommendation: DUE TO YOUR MEDICAL CONDITION
i also looked at his medical exam upon entry. It lists "pes planus" 2-MODERATE A-Asymptomatic
However, on one of his sick call records it states:
"Pes Planus" SEVERE- SYMPTOMATIC moderately
doesnt that mean it got WORSE according to their records? Also, prior to those 2 months of service---he was in the army for 3. He also had stress fractures, back pain, and knee issues (all documented)
